Century-old Tuttle building destroyed by fire

A building that was the center of life in Tuttle for more than a century has been gutted by fire .

Capt. Larry Stevenson said the fire appears to have started in the kitchen of Grady’s Pub and Grill, one of 10 businesses housed in the old bank building in downtown Tuttle.

Stevenson said, “The address that came over the radio is well known to everybody because we all knew what building it was and we knew that we were in for a big bad fire that wasn’t going to be a very good outcome.”

It appears all 10 businesses were lost. It will likely be at least another day before the building is deemed safe enough for business owners to attempt to salvage their belongings.
